The new spring/summer collection at Louise Misha launched last week and it is simply beautiful! With stunning, bohemian dresses and accessories for little girls, and a larger-than-ever selection for women, this is my favourite collection yet. There is honestly not a single piece in the women's collection that I wouldn't love to have in my ...

A few years ago (was it 5, already??), Courtney and I met up in NY with the lovely Annie from Brimful. She brought us a few of the cutest, most thoughtful gifts. One of those gifts was a re-usable Flip & Tumble bag, which she told me was simply the best re-usable shopping bag ever. I ...

I don't tend to wear a lot of jewellery, I actually don't even have pierced ears! Every piece of jewellery I do own has some sentimental value. A little trinket bought on a holiday, or a present for a special occasion. Possibly not worth much, but very valuable to me nonetheless. For our 10 year ...

We were recently on the way to London for a little family trip, and on the train I noticed that Casper's shoes were completely falling apart! So sad that I won't be able to pass them down to baby number 5... I took the excuse however to make a surprise visit to Anna from Mama ...

I love to wear Hatch when I'm not pregnant, but now that I am expecting of course I love dressing in their fashionable clothes! So many of their styles appeal to me. Relaxed and timeless pieces that can be dressed up or down and work for so many occasions. The collection is fashionable but also timeless, ...

As I've written before, I am a big fan of the Boob maternity and nursing products. Their basics are my favourite: I wear the Boob nursing bras daily as well as my merino wool nursing singlet, and I've even discovered the nursing sports bras, which I also love (I'm wearing one as I type, in ...

On first glance, the Josefina bag looks like a beautiful, super stylish handbag -- something you'd feel comfortable carrying into a business meeting or hanging over your arm on a date with your husband. Nothing about this bag says 'baby', and yet it happens to be an extremely practical, super handy nappy bag. The Josefina ...

Aside from making beautiful, vintage-inspired maternity clothing, Clary & Peg, a London-based label, have gone that extra step further and ensured that each of the pieces in their collection is breastfeeding-friendly as well. Which means that you can invest in a pretty dress or stylish jumpsuit during pregnancy that accommodates your growing bump whilst knowing you'll ...

A couple years ago, at the start of our family travels, I discovered the newly opened Christy Dawn shop in Venice, California. We were renting a house around the corner and I managed to sneak off one morning (without kids!) for a little browse around the shop. I loved everything in the entire store, but ...

In many countries in the world, we celebrate Father's Day this coming Sunday. In our case, this means that Tamar can stay in bed while the rest of the family goes downstairs to make breakfast: usually scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, muffins and a glass of champagne. We bring up coffee and a newspaper while we ...

Both Courtney and I love wearing Hatch. Their elegant yet easy-to-wear pieces are some of our most favourite staples in our wardrobe -- pregnant, or not! I love how the simple fact that the collection is designed around a changing body makes the clothing so attractive to all kinds of body shapes. I just came back from a weekend at ...

Here in the Netherlands, like in many other countries, shops are not allowed to hand out plastic carrying bags for free. Because of this, most people will bring re-useable carrying bags when (grocery) shopping -- a great effort to reduce some of the plastic waste which we already have way too much of in our environment. The ...

Can we talk about that awkward transition that happens with your wardrobe when you go from pregnant to breastfeeding? All the comfortable, beautiful dresses you might have worn in pregnancy no longer work for breastfeeding because you'd have to pull them all the way up and over your boobs, revealing everything below to anyone within sight. ...

The new Spring/Summer collection at Hatch -- for pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond!

Have you guys seen the new Hatch collection? As always, it is effortlessly beautiful and perfectly on trend. There are pretty floral dresses, stylish jumpsuits, and lots of easy-to-wear pieces you can dress up or down. Earlier this season the team at Hatch sent over some pieces for Esther and me to test out and we thought ...

If you love traveling, there's also the packing to deal with beforehand. Before children, this was part of the fun for me. The anticipation of going away would slowly build up with every list I would make, every item of clothing I would put aside, each travel-sized toiletry I would purchase... Nowadays (having to pack not just for myself but also ...

There are roughly 9,000 people who live here in Byron Bay -- just over 30,000 if you include all the surrounding towns that make up all of Byron Shire. It is tiny! And yet, this little town is brimming with creative talent and beautiful brands. From designer furniture to stylish sandals, beach umbrellas to bikinis, and a ...

A couple weeks ago I teamed up with my friend, Lena, from the beautiful clothing brand, Yoli & Otis, and we decided to have a little picnic in the shade of the macadamia trees one sunny afternoon. Ivy insisted on baking one of her famous fruit tarts, which we very happily accepted as picnic fare ...

Did you write your letter to Santa yet? It's not too late to tell him about the gorgeous personalised jewellery from Merci Maman! ; ) Merci Maman is the brainchild of French mama Béatrice, who started engraving jewellery from her kitchen table in London, and now leads a team of twenty together with her husband ...

This Barcelona-based brand is devoted to sustainability and our environment with all products crafted in Europe and the majority made from organic or recycled materials, making them entirely or partly recyclable and or biodegradable.

It is definitely slipper season in Europe and most of North America, time to get cosy, wear warm layers, and get those toes nice and toasty! No one wants to make breakfast with frigid feet. So we decided to share seven of our favourite tried and tested slippers that we buy season after season for ...

It's becoming a bit of a tradition -- our seasonal Hatch shoot :). But this time it was extra fun, because we now had a pregnant belly to show! Doesn't Courtney look too cute in those black overalls? I just love how Hatch makes clothes look so good on pregnant as well as non-pregnant ladies ...

You know how we're always wishing for some of the beautiful kids fashion brands we love to start making adult fashion? Well, lucky us -- one of our favourite labels, the German eco fashion brand Macarons, has recently come out with a small but fabulous line of their gorgeous jumpers in adult sizing! Fabricated in their signature double-knit, ...

Last week I made a quick trip over to Amsterdam for a team meeting and planning session. It was the first time I've seen Esther and Emilie since we were together in NYC for the ShopUp last September -- the longest we've gone without seeing each other since we became friends 11 years ago! Of course, arriving at ...
